Based on the findings, CLASP-A will be revised, with the objective of creating a flexible protocol in which emphasis can be shifted based on the presenting problems of the patient/family, and strategies can be selected to accommodate the developmental stage of the patient. CLASP-A is innovative in that it targets the highest risk adolescents during their highest risk period, i.e. transition from inpatient to outpatient care. It is also innovative in employing multiple modalities (in-person sessions and phone calls) that involve both the patient and the parent, thus targeting frequently cited barriers in the treatment of adolescent patients. The availability of a low-cost, easily implemented, adjunctive intervention that successfully reduces the rate of suicide attempts in adolescents could improve quality of life and productivity on both individual and societal levels.
